Afrobeat innovator Mr. Dutch has officially released the striking visual for his inspirational single "Dodorima," featuring the legendary Soweto Gospel Choir and rising Nigerian star Raybekah. The videos debut aligns with the launch of his much-anticipated debut album, They Thought I Was Done, delivering a compelling fusion of music and visual storytelling rooted in faith and African unity.
Directed by Mr. Dutch himself, the "Dodorima" video is both cinematic and deeply personal. Through rich, symbolic imagery, it follows a narrative of hardship, healing, and spiritual awakening - mirroring the artists own transformative journey.
>"This is more than just a music video its a visual prayer," says Mr. Dutch. "Dodorima is my story-my survival. I wanted people to not only hear the message, but experience it. Every shot is a reflection of the path Ive walked-through pain, through culture, through grace."
The term Dodorima, rooted in both Edo and Igbo heritage, conveys themes of gratitude, truth, and endurance. These layers come to life in the videos compelling performances, with the celestial vocals of Soweto Gospel Choir, the raw emotion of Raybekah, and the spiritual depth of Mr. Dutch merging seamlessly into a unified message of hope and strength.
